The cat had a lot of news to report when I got home.

After a good run of being sane, one of my suppliers has gone back to unpacking manufacturer case packs and shipping out product in 3x the packaging it needs.

Apparently birdsite got rid of the fail whale and people want it back. I'd like to remind everybody of the original fail whale. https://bubblebobble.fandom.com/wiki/Skel-Monsta

Everybody tastes all the roasts.

So the way this is going to go is we'll start by breaking into 8 groups. Each group goes to a different coffee roasting machine and roasts a coffee in a couple different ways (each group gets different roasting plans). Then we'll go to the classroom, I'll do a little lecture while the first cupping flight is set up, and we'll taste a range from light to dark roasts. Then more lecture, then tasting timing variations (what happens if you use more or less time in key ranges), then Q&A/discussion.

I now have all the information I need to reorganize the class I'm teaching at an event next month. I've been in a holding pattern waiting to find out if if I can get a screen set up in a cupping room or if the lecture and tasting portions need to happen in different rooms.

social.typica.us is still up.

So what's with the uptick in people with programming experience leaving resumes for my barista job openings?

Also a little sad that I can recognize some of those randomly generated slugs for my stuff that some platforms use.

It's always nice when I see other people recommending stuff I made, especially when it's at the top of the list.

Morning cat

My hand has become a cat pillow.

Cat: Why are you eating dinner when you could be hugging the cat?

There's a coffee truck. It's not the coffee truck I was expecting first, but it's the one that's here.
